Auto-crop width, not height

WordPress cant do it alone. You need a script called Timthumb.php to do it. This is really simple to use. Check it out: https://code.google.com/p/timthumb/

And the best: wordpress will not store multiple versions of your images when crop. It will be done by the script on demand.
